The Whispering Verses Chapter 298: Out of control darkness

[Modern Girl・Flower Shop Girl], Flower Moon 7. When this card is drawn, if the total number of cards in hand is no more than two, then if the opponent holds a kingdom or queen this round, the king and queen will be invalid and the points will be regarded as 0.

This card is a special card in the new deck launched last year. Shade only heard Baron Lavender talk about it and did not expect to see it himself. Because of the development of the printing industry driven by the steam industry in recent years, the card surfaces of Rhodes cards have become more and more delicate and beautiful. On the card of [Modern Girl, Flower Shop Girl], the girl holding a watering can and wearing an apron is watering the plants in the flower pots in the flower shop, which is very consistent with Shade's aesthetics:

"But the luck of this card is based on the luck of the opponent. Unfortunately, I am not that lucky."

Xia De said very modestly, and then said doubtfully:

"Since this card cannot work for the time being, you don't have to turn over the cover. Now, I know your trump card."

"What's the difference between not revealing a special card if you draw it, and not drawing a special card?"

The middle-aged man raised his neck and asked. Shade was stunned for a moment and did not answer. He and Mr. Walker drew the second card together.

Mr. Walker has the Sun 9, and his hand totals 16 points. Shade is still a flower, with 2 points and a total of 15 points in his hand.

"I'll continue."

"I'll continue too."

Mr. Walker was Sun 4, totaling 20 points, which put a smile on his face. Shade was at Moon 5, which was also a total of 20 points. He narrowed his eyes.

"How about it, Mr. Hamilton, do you want to continue?"

Mr. Walker asked. He didn't know Shade's trump card, so he didn't know the current situation. But no matter what Shade's choice is, there is a high probability that Mr. Harry Walker will not continue to draw cards. In other words, unless Shade goes crazy and continues to draw cards, there is a high probability that this round will be a draw.

Xia De thought for a while, glanced at Miss Louisa, and then said softly:

"Want to bet your luck with me? A draw would be too boring."

He also turned over his hole card, revealing 20 points, and looked at Mr. Walker:

"They are all 20 points. I don’t think we will choose to continue drawing cards. So why not try our luck and draw another card? Although there is a high probability that the cards will be busts, someone may be lucky enough to draw 1 point. ”

Mr. Walker thought about it and thought this was fair:

"Of course, I won't miss this exciting gambling game, so we agreed that we will draw cards in the next round."

He stretched out his hand and opened his fourth card, Suit Star 3, which was undoubtedly a bust:

"Oh, that's true."

The tone is rather regretful, and it seems that he is also looking forward to being favored by the **** of luck.

Shad also reached out to draw a card, but instead of picking up the card from the top of the deck, he pressed it on top of the deck and opened a corner. His plan was to take a look, then make a sighing expression, press down the card, and then draw out the [Kasonlik Southern Folklore Moon Dance Festival].

The Moon Dance Festival is blessed by two ghosts. When the card is in the deck, as long as you want to draw it, you can draw it even if you have already seen the card. In contrast, although [Origin·Balance] has a similar effect, it doesn't even have to be in the deck. Shade can draw it if he wants.

When you draw [Kasenlik Southern Folklore・Moondance Festival], if you hold cards of the moon suit in your hand and the sum of the points does not exceed 7, then if the card is busted this round, the total points will be adjusted to 1. Now Shade only has a Moon 5, which just meets the requirements.

Although this is considered cheating, since there is no gambling this time, even if Mr. Walker loses, he will not suffer much loss. So Shade opened a corner as planned and sighed immediately after seeing the colors and numbers.

The plan failed, he couldn't press the card.

Xia De looked up at the middle-aged man playing cards with him. He frowned and squinted his eyes and opened the fourth card. He used a spell to control it and floated it in the air to show it to the other party. Suit Moon 1, Sha De 21 points. .

"Is there such a thing?"

The middle-aged man was very puzzled. He grabbed the card and looked at it for a long time.

As for Shade, he knows exactly what kind of luck he can bring in holding two Founding Series cards.

Mr. Walker is willing to admit defeat, of course, because the bet is not big. He accepted Miss Louisa's thirteen pounds and handed over the rolled parchment.

When mentioned about the information about the out-of-control angel-level relics, although he showed reluctance, he still told the news:

"This angel-level relic is not a certain item, this time the relic is a certain event, do you understand?"

[Relic] does not necessarily have to be an actual item, it may also be a piece of information, an event, or even something that is even more difficult to describe in human language. Shade had heard about it when he met Dr. Schneider for the second time, but now was the first time he learned about the [relic] that was not an object.

"Event? What is it specifically?"

Miss Louisa asked, while Shade stood aside and looked at the corridor behind them to prevent anyone from suddenly appearing.

"My news may not be correct, just take it as fresh news."

Mr. Walker counted the money as he spoke:

"The location is in the southeastern town of Tobesk City, but I can't tell a more specific location. The form of expression is darkness, a darkness covering the entire area. Outside the area covered by darkness, that is, the normal In the world, any information about the area covered by darkness will disappear. At the same time, indescribable creatures will continue to appear within the area covered by darkness. Those creatures will gradually migrate out of the dark area, bringing the darkness further. place."

Mr. Walker shrugged and stuffed the counted coins into his pocket:

"If left alone, sooner or later, the darkness brought by those monsters will engulf the entire world. Fortunately, the regular patrol team of the Orthodox Church discovered something was wrong in time. To be precise, on the map of Tobesk City There is an extra plain inexplicably, but the church's geographers believe that there cannot be a plain in the southeast of Tobesk. Although even the ring magician cannot observe the darkness, as long as the approximate scope is known, the church can still use its methods. A clue has been discovered. I don’t know the specific name of the relic, nor do I know more detailed information about it, but at least the darkness has been controlled.”

"Are you sure it's under control? From your description, once this thing gets out of control, we'd better think about applying to the college to leave this area."

Miss Louisa said.

"The news I heard is that it is under control. Louisa, you are also a native of Tobesk. You should know how powerful Mr. Iron Right Hand is. Although the evil incident a few days ago shows that the Righteous God Church is not Almighty, but that is an evil **** after all, which is different from this matter."

The middle-aged man waved to the two of them and planned to leave:

"Even if the sky of the material world collapses, there is still support from the Zhengshen Church and the academy. Even if they cannot hold on, there are still the rumored 'God Summoners' or similar high-level warlocks. Correspondence education circles like ours Warlocks, you should still think about your studies. Although the exam week is over, there are only five months left until the winter end-of-year exams."

He crossed over to Shade and left here. Judging from the content of his complaints, the exam weeks for the three major thaumaturgy academies should be at the same time, and this gentleman's results were obviously not ideal.

"Shad, what do you think?"

Miss Louisa ignored Mr. Walker who left and asked Shade instead.

"If the sky collapses, I can't stand it."

He said with a smile, and then spoke seriously:

"Although the church failed to prevent the god-summoning ceremony, if it is just an angel-level relic, I think it should be no problem. A few days ago, I was at the Prophet Association and met the president of the association, Mr. Stan. Time has been recruited by the Zhengshen Church to help deal with the relics that have gone out of control. Now that he has returned, the matter should be resolved soon."

“I don’t think the church can’t control the relics that are out of control. I just feel that so many things have happened in the Tobesk area in just one month. I have grown up in this city since I was a child, and I have never felt that this city has gone out of control. The city is so dangerous."

The blonde girl sighed.

The outsider does not think that these are all caused by his arrival. After all, when the darkness appeared, he had not come here yet.

It was calm tonight. Just like what Priest August said, ring warlocks are not so easy to encounter out-of-control relics. The incident of divine descending frightened ring warlocks in the entire city. There were no strange encounters that night. Weird people.

He spent a week at home without incident. If he encountered an accident just after leaving the house, Shade would really have to check to see if there was something wrong with him.

Shadow sat next to Miss Louisa, chatting with the voice in his heart about the stories and singing of opera performances, while whispering to the blonde girl about the status of other correspondence magicians in the city. .

The opera ended at nine-thirty in the evening, and tonight's "course" ended here. Shade took Miss Louisa in a carriage back to Quill Street in the university district where she lived.

Miss Louisa hoped that Shade would not forget that the real purpose of going out tonight was to study "Kiss of the Tree", so she talked to him on the way about the impact of "enlightenment" elements on the mind and spirit of ring warlocks.

Then we talked about Shade’s Mystery Lock again. Everyone was very tired tonight and she had no chance to touch the Mystery Lock again to gain enlightenment, but Miss Writer thought of another thing:

"Shad, since you obtained the Mystery Lock because you left traces in the past, have you opened the second time key? Did you have any special experience this time? Or is this Just like an ordinary investigator?"

She finally asked this question, and Shade glanced at the night view of the city outside the window. Today is the first day after the curfew is lifted. There are a lot of people going out to drink, and there are also a lot of people vomiting against the wall:

"It's opened, it's the key to the year 3002 of the Fifth Era."

Xia De said, wondering what the cat at home alone might be doing:

"I met Miss Myrna Feliana in the past."

"Who? Huh? Oh! I know."

The blonde girl sitting opposite Shade whispered and covered her mouth. The sigh just now was a bit too loud:

"Miss Philiana Shade, don't talk to me about what you experienced in the past. The mystery of time is too profound for me. I don't have the power of time. Listening too much to your experiences may lead to There's something wrong with me."

In a world where occultism exists, Shade's unusual time travel experience itself can be regarded as part of abnormal knowledge. Because of the fragility of the mortal Shad, the Old God [Innocent Creator] could not reveal more secrets of the era and the gods to him. Now, it is best for Shade not to tell others too much about his time travel experience. This is also due to the fragility of mortals.

"However, if you want to influence the future from the past this time and give yourself another [Enlightenment] Spirit Rune, you can tell me what you did after the event."

Miss Louisa said.

"No, [Enlightenment] probably won't work this time. But if things go well, I may get one more [Miracle] Spirit Rune. Oh, and there is also [Youth Leaves]. I still need to trouble you to help keep one." ”

There are no spiritual runes in the Ancient God's rewards, but once the God Summoning Ceremony is successful, he may gain power from contact with the Old God [Yahua Gate].

The blonde girl showed a gentle smile:

"That's really good. [Miracle] comes from the past, and [Enlightenment] comes from our courses. Are you ready to advance from the second ring to the third ring in the same month?"

Xia De shook his head:

"I don't have any reason to gain strength as soon as possible. Rather than being promoted quickly, I want to make the foundation more solid."

"You're right, we still have a long way to go, so we don't have to go so fast."

Xia De always felt that this sentence seemed strange.
